i asked about that too but the SA seemed unsure of the wax's origin. i probably would've given them the benefit of the doubt for a pair of boots that would last me such a long time. also, being a true size 1, the vegan thing is just the beginning of my nightmare, haha. i'm actually quite proud of what i've managed to find so far--lots of va, _7, ro, dbss, and ov~
edit: my reasons for being vegan are pretty simple, following the "least harm, most good" principle. however, i do realize that cruelty extends beyond the cultivation of animals and animal products, which is why i try to make informed decisions about everything i buy whenever possible. if i didn't live in texas, i wouldn't need to drive a car but i do, so there's not much of a choice for me there. the whole beeswax thing might seem crazy to some, i just know that it doesn't sit right with me for some reason. i know of plenty of other vegans who have no problem with beeswax (though the very idea of using beeswax goes against veganism by definition), and ultimately it comes down to what you're comfortable with within your own means of practicality. i believe rilu has previously stated that she wears secondhand wool on occasion, and i can see the reasoning at work there (don't worry, i won't call the vegan police)
